Title: Means for locking components against relative rotation
Inventor: WILSON JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: F16L33/24
Filed: 1962-12-31
Abstract: 957,860. Pipe couplings; locking nuts. SUPERFLEXIT Ltd. Dec. 31, 1962, No. 49123/62. Headings F2G and F2H. Means for locking two concentrically arranged components 1 and 6 against further rotation after they have been rotated to an operational position consists of polygonal-shaped parts 13, 14 of the components (A and B of Fig. 1 and Figs. 2 and 3) having a dissimilar number of polygonal sides such that in the said operational position only one side on one of the parts is axially aligned with one side or the other and the sides can be locked in that position by an inwardly directed protuberance 18 on a locking ring 17 which fits closely around the polygonal parts. The ring is slid axially to engage the convex surface of the protuberance with the concave surfaces of the two aligned sides and is held in position by a circlip 20. In a pipe connector (Fig. 1) a nipple 1 is screwed into a convoluted pipe 3 and a ferrule nut 6 is screwed over both. The pitch of the screw threads on the pipe differs somewhat from that of the two other components so it is flattened in some degree between the nipple and ferrule. The end of the pipe is gripped between conical faces 4 and 7 on the two components and the seal is completed by an O-ring 5 in an annular groove in the nipple. The difference in the number of polygonal sides on the ports 13 and 14 provides a form of vernier adjustment. The conduit described is intended for carrying electric cables.

Title: Process and apparatus for the stabilization of the period of opening of electromagnetic fuel injectors

Filed: 1976-11-26
Abstract: 1507239 Testing solenoids FIAT SpA 26 Nov 1976 [9 Dec 1975] 49490/76 Heading G1U [Also in Division G3]  An injector 7 is supplied with current through transistor 3 which is made conductive by the control unit 1 for a period which is made independent of supply voltage by computing the period from a sensed discontinuity in the current through the injector. Fig. 1 shows a typical energization curve for an injector where the point C corresponds to the movement of the obturator from a closed to an open position. The circuit arrangement shown in Fig. 4 includes a comparator 27 whose inputs are connected to the outputs of a bridge comprising resistors 19, 21, 23, 25 which are adjusted to give a low output from amplifier 27. When the injector coil is energized the voltage at the point K varies as shown in Fig. 12 and causes the comparator 27 to produce a pulse at the instant the voltage on input a becomes less than the voltage at input b. This pulse is used to determine the starting point for timing the duration of the injection in control 1. The closing of the injector is aided by zener diode 5 which provides a rapid discharge current. Battery voltage variations are compensated by the connection of resistor 31 and zener diode 29 to the input b of the comparator.
